Warm and dry weather will finish the week before next system arrives

Warm weather ahead before the next storm arrives

As this winter storm clears out, warmer temperatures are inbound for much of New Mexico, at least until the next system arrives Saturday.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — With winter weather clearing today, conditions look to remain dry, and temperatures will gradually warm up through the end of the work week.

Friday will be windy for the central mountain chain and adjacent highlands.

The weather takes a turn on Saturday with an incoming winter system bringing widespread snowfall, mainly for the northern and eastern parts of the state through Sunday.

A cold Arctic airmass will bring frigid temperatures for the majority of New Mexico, especially for eastern areas, where highs may be as much as 30 below normal for this time of year.
